The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya-Chapter 198 Lucifer Vs Jade II [Hell - Part IV]

- POV General -

"Let's play some more and I'll tell you fufu~"

Freya had leaned in forcefully and uttered these words after licking the bloody cheek of the young redheaded woman to provoke her. Her reaction was immediate and as the she-wolf with the broken helmet smiled, Jade responded by licking Freya's bloody black blade. She was doing this action while responding to Freya's provocation, which resulted in an unexpected laugh from her.

"It's okay... let's play."

"Hahahahaha~"

Never before had the Empress found herself in front of someone who could stand up to her and retort without insult or hate speech. For the first time, despite the circumstances, she felt sympathy for her opponent without thinking of killing her. The two looked at each other with a smile that was hard to hide even as explosions and screams could be heard everywhere.

"You are definitely very interesting fufu~"

Finishing her sentence, Freya dropped her sword suddenly before sending her fist into the Mage Knight's stomach with all her power. Not being prepared for this at all, the latter let out a cry of surprise while blood came out of her mouth at the same time. Taking advantage of this short moment, the Empress followed up by bending down and sending her right foot directly into Jade's jaw making her fly away.

"Aaaargh !!"

Once again, the young redheaded woman found herself propelled but this time directly into the air, quickly spinning ever higher. Giggling slightly, Freya would take support on her legs as she crouched before leaping into the sky to catch her. As she jumped, the ground broke for several feet and a wind kicked up dust and dirt.

Both women were in the air and as Jade spun around sending her foot, the Empress threw her knee. The Knight's shin struck the she-wolf's knee with force, creating a shockwave almost visible in the sky. Everything went very fast afterward and two bodies could be seen spinning like meteorites towards the ground, the two women having hit each other with all their strength.

The next moment, the whole war seemed to come to a sudden stop for a few minutes as the two most powerful women crashed to the ground in the middle of the battlefield. They had come out of nowhere and exploded the ground creating huge deep craters as they landed in the middle of the melee. As if by magic, only the sound of crackling flames rose as everyone went silent.

"Cough cough !"

"Uuurg !"

The silence was then broken a few seconds later by those at the bottoms of the two newly created craters. Two figures appeared climbing the ledges with smiles on their faces as the many soldiers looked on in amazement. Ironically, the Mage Knight had landed among the warriors of Elysium and the Empress among the Knights of Zal.

Neither Freya nor Jade cared about the people around her, however, or the worried, questioning looks of their silent allies and companions. As if nothing else mattered but their battle, even this unnatural silence during a war was not able to attract their attention. No one spoke, time seemed to stand still as everyone watched the scene unfold before their eyes with shock.

The Empress was still wearing her broken half-helmet, but blood was now pouring from her head, turning her entire lower face a frightening red. Her hair had turned as dark as night again but her horns were intact. Although it was not obvious, her shoulder bones and ribs were broken while her black clothes were torn.

The Mage Knight on the other hand was not so much in a better condition as her strong blood armor was cracked and broken in some places. Unlike her opponent, she was not wounded in the head but in the arm, hanging, full of blood as if no force was flowing through it anymore. She was out of breath, full of bruises and just like Freya, her arm and ribs had been broken after only a few minutes.

Suddenly, as if coming back to reality, the proud she-wolf swept the silent battlefield with her piercing, terrifying purple eyes. The Knights shivered, the Paladins paled, and everyone wondered what this demonic creature could be planning. The warriors of Elysium, however, despite the state of their leader who had never been like this, did not tremble with blind confidence.

Then, after a few seconds of observation, the Empress closed her eyes before placing her palms towards the ground on either side of her body. A red aura began to form around her as the black-haired woman changed before the wide eyes of all. She, who was a she-wolf changed and as her tail and ears disappeared, a completely different person appeared.

Sharp ears appeared, her fingernails grew longer almost like claws, her tattoos grew larger and her teeth became sharper. The changes were fast and occurred as her previously black hair turned blood red. Within seconds, the soldiers of Elysium and Zal had witnessed for the first time the transformation of Freya, Empress of the Empire.

Straightening up, she slowly opened her eyes, revealing red pupils drowned in a deep black that left no trace of white. The moment she opened her eyes, an incredible and still uncontrollable power was released from her body. The weaker warriors fell to their knees, vomited and fainted while the stronger ones trembled trying to stay on their feet.

"..."

If Freya's arrival earlier had been hard to bear for humans just emerging from the illusion, her changes were nothing like it. The sense of life-threatening danger was still present, but an inexplicable panic was taking over each of the bodies. Some humans were now vomiting blood, others were suddenly falling over with convulsions or heart attacks and dying almost immediately. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

The same effect did not occur among the warriors of Elysium, but facing such a powerful and terrifying being had done some damage. Before the eyes of Jade, unable to move and fascinated, the King and the humans, stood a true Demon. For the first time in thousands of years, the ancient Goddess of Blood and Death had finally reappeared. Before everyone's eyes now stood Lucifer Nightshade, 7th Sin of Wrath. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

"O Lord... we are doomed..."

"N-No Lady Erina, nor...nor his Majesty the King will be able to save us."

Some of the Knights murmured, others wept while the Paladins themselves began to pray fervently, imploring their Gods to help them. The panic was there, but the strangest thing was that no one moved or ran away. They were all paralyzed in place terrified, and not being able to escape put such a strain on their minds and bodies, explaining the sudden death of some.

"Aaaaah !"

Suddenly, while everyone was trying to bear the situation as best they could, Lucifer had thrown two threads of blood that had wrapped around two Knights. With a simple movement of the fingers, the two unfortunate ones were dragged in her direction unable to do anything. Before they even had time to scream, the red-haired Empress had already grabbed their necks in each of her hands.

"Mmmmmh !!!"

"Uuuurgfbifboin !"

The Demon preventing them from speaking lifted them both up under the terrified gaze of their comrades before approaching the one on the right very slowly. The sun was still shining in the sky and at that moment, everyone could see a terrifying smile bathed in blood, wild and deadly, filled with sharp teeth. Then, like a nightmare, the scene that followed would finish by killing the weakest with fear.

"AAAAAAAAARRGGGHHHHH !!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Empress of Elysium bit the neck of her right prey with force, tearing the flesh savagely like a hungry animal. Having cut the carotid artery, the blood began to spurt out in abundance, tinting Lucifer once again completely red. She did not stop there however because instead of watching him emptying himself and choking in his own blood, she approached her mouth of the gaping wound.

In front of the paralyzed army, the red Empress, drank the blood of the Knight who gradually stopped struggling, dying every second a little more. While she drank like a thirsty beast, her left hand twisted the throat of the other man who had turned white. With a hoarse crack, his hands and feet, so suddenly deprived of life, were just hanging in the air.

However, while the Demon was busy drinking the blood, those still able to watch such a spectacle, could see the blood of the second unfortunate man coming out of his body. As if he had come to life, the red liquid poured out of his ears, nose, mouth and eyes and made its way towards Lucifer. Covering her wounds, little by little, she was healing, taking advantage of the general paralysis to heal herself.

Thus, Lucifer, by drinking the blood of the first man had raised her blood gauge in her system and by using the blood of the second had healed herself. Throwing away the two empty, rag-doll-like bodies, she finally stood up. She had a smile on her face and no part of her white skin was visible anymore, covered in blood.

"This time you won't get me Lady E.ri.na."

The Empress had finally spoken and her voice had become colder, devoid of any emotions, powerful and vibrant. Like an echo, her words seemed to resonate through the forest as directly into everyone's heart. The next moment, Lucifer disappeared and reappeared next to Jade who still didn't understand what was happening. Trying to react, she turned around but it was already too late, the blow had gone too fast.

A powerful punch slammed into her already broken ribs, shattering the armor of blood she had created for herself. The Mage Knight was spitting blood and now it was also flowing from her ears and nose. Without even waiting a second, Lucifer grabbed her foot before breaking it with a quick and precise wrist movement.

"Gaaaaaaaahhhhh !!!"

Jade's screams of pain pierced the air for miles, even freezing the blood of the Commanders who were also watching the scene. However, she still wouldn't give up and hundreds of blood knives formed from her blood to shoot towards Lucifer. Unfortunately, the difference in strength was now far too great despite their similar levels.

Freya had revealed her true nature as a Demon and the blood of the Gods that flowed through her made her more powerful each time her transformation was complete. It was now impossible for the vampire to defeat her even though her healing power was still effective, albeit slow. This time, the Empress didn't even bother to do anything as she slowly moved forward.

The redheaded Knight was on the ground, unable to get up and trying as best she could to throw as many knives as possible, almost crawling away. Lucifer, walked quietly in her direction and the knives that came close enough were twisted or deflected by her powerful aura visible to the naked eye. At that moment, Jade had lost her smile and a fear as strong as that of the soldiers had invaded her soul.

Arriving at her height, Lucifer grabbed the neck of the young female vampire and lifted her into the air before plunging her gaze into hers. Her eyes were no longer purple and hypnotic but red, black and deadly, as if the Empress herself could see your death. Trembling, bleeding, bones shattered, and scared to death, Jade coughed up blood before she managed to whisper a sentence.

"I... *cough* okay... okay you...you won.. *cough cough* I... I surrender ! I...I'll tell you my story !"

Suddenly, at her words, Lucifer let go of Jade who fell on her butt to the ground as her transformation disappeared almost instantly. The pointy human ears changed to black wolf ears and tail. The claws retracted, the sculpted black horns shrank slightly as the red hair turned black again.

Freya had returned to her usual appearance and while the redheaded Knight didn't understand what was going on, she crouched down next to her with a big smile. A black aura was now surrounding the Empress' body but somehow much less striking than the previous one. Crouching down in front of Jade who was in a terrible state, Freya's voice echoed again.

"Well there you go, that wasn't so hard, was it ? I loved playing with you fufu~"

Jade couldn't believe her eyes and despite this intense fear she had felt and still felt, a fascination was beginning to sprout inside her. Who was this woman ? Why and how was she so powerful ? Her body was broken, she had no strength, no mana, no desire to fight, but her mind was still sharp. From this fight she had learned a great lesson and gained unprecedented determination.

For the first time, as the war was about to begin again, Lucifer Nightshade, former Goddess of Primordial Blood and Death, had fought. Freya had fought for the first time a powerful vampire who was far from weak despite the outcome of the fight. From this exchange, the two women had developed a common interest in each other, eager to hear each other's story.
